This magnificent device is called the Hoverie. To activate the device all you have to do is step on the orange platform. Only you can activate your Hoverie because when you step on the plate it scans your footprints and certain facial features thatc annot be possibly altered withour going through severe plastic surgeory, and even then there are doubts. You can ride in someone else's Hoverie if they are present with you and go through the scannign proceduyre themslves.Once you hav activated th device all you have to do is tell the device or type in your destination. The Hoverie is a self driving vehicle and does not require you to control it. During the trip you can use the computer. The computer is 3G and does not need wifi to use the internet. There are 4 buttons on each side the two red ones are emergency buttons but the other 3 on both sides can be used for diffrent purposes depending on what you set them to do. For example they can be a cofee maker or they can open up a plasma TV. It is virtually impossible to get in a accident because the hoverie moves away from the other hoverie's using a magnetic forcefield.(* if you way more than 250 pounds please purchase a larger device so you are not the cause of damage or malfunction. *)

REFLECTION


  • My parents told me to use a more renewable resource as my fuel source for my device. The Hoverie works like jetpack it takes in air and compresses it with some fuel and lets it our to make the device move. Myparents suggested using somwthing a little less dangerous because if something goes wrong in the process the whole device could explode. As an alternate energy source i could use a motor or engine similar to theat of a car that either runs on battery or solar power.
  • One thing that surprised me in this process was is how we can take such a simple procedure like going to work and make such astonishing prototypes out of them. Also the steps to making th e final product were fairly but helped alot because during each step i would think of better and better ideas to improve the original idea that i had.
  • In a process similar to this one i would like to redesign basic objects we use everyday such as penicls, paper, ect. and find a creative and unique way to improve them or to make it easier for the consumer to use them. Another thing i want to redisns would be our mode of air transportation like long distance flying. Because i have been on multiple long distance flights and know that it is very uncomfortable for many people. I would like to try to find or design a alternate mode of air transprotation that could be possibly more efficent, quicker and more comfortable for our "marshmallows"
